Herbert Hoover National Historic Site

Herbert Hoover was the 31st President of the United States of American during the Great Depression from 1929 to 1933. Hoover was born to a Quaker family on August 10, 1874, at West Branch, Iowa. He was orphaned at the young age of nine before moving to Oregon. We can learn more about the birthplace, career, presidency, and many involvements even after the retirement of President Hoover if we visit his memorial site at the Herbert Hoover National Historic Site in 110 Parkside Drive, West Branch, Iowa.
